Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

This restaurant presents a compelling concept in a stylish setting near Basel Zoo. A personal, handwritten welcome at the table sets the tone for the cuisine of Pascal Steffen and his team, which combines classical foundations with modern creativity. The surprise menu spans seven to 10 courses – only the ingredients are disclosed in advance, and these are of exceptional quality, with an emphasis on regional sourcing. The dishes are plant-forward, but fish and meat also feature. Their signature "Gemüse Garten" showcases over 30 varieties of vegetables prepared using a range of techniques to cre

Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl

Classic French · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

The name Peter Knogl goes hand in hand with French haute cuisine, which he produces here in the flagship restaurant of the over-300-year-old Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. His cooking takes the form of extremely harmonious, mature and skilfully reduced creations that showcase his very own signature style. Well-defined flavours, subtle contrasts, perfect craftsmanship, no compromising on the quality of his ingredients… A case in point is the fantastic wild sea bass covered with finely spiced, crispy fried chorizo brunoise, served on a bed of subtly sweet julienned cucumber and accompanied by an el

If you're not careful, you might end up walking right past the narrow façade of this mid-terrace restaurant. This charming, lively little establishment is right at home here in Basel's St Johanns-Vorstadt district. Both the slick interior and chef-patron Matthieu Judenne's seasonally inspired cuisine are modern, but for all their creativity they remain pleasingly accessible and ingredient-driven. The focus is undisputedly on flavour – soul food rather than frills is the order of the day here. This ethos is evident in dishes such as "poached egg, pea tartare, tarragon foam" and "octopus, Kalama
